NXP and Partners Test Advanced V2X Application Scenarios for Collision-Free Driving
October 06 2021 - 3:00AM
ITS World Congress --
NXP®
Semiconductors has announced that it will showcase new safety
scenarios enabled by vehicle-to-vehicle communication (Vehicle-to-X
or V2X) as part of this year’s ITS World Congress in Hamburg. NXP
will work together with partners such as premium manufacturer Riese
& Müller, to highlight better protection for vulnerable road
users, new V2X application scenarios designed to help prevent
traffic accidents and e-bike safety demonstrations. NXP's V2X
technology is based on 802.11p, a communication standard also known
as DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communication). Optimized for
automobiles, 802.11p allows vehicles, road infrastructure and other
road users to exchange information in real time.
Every year, more than 1.3 million people are killed in road
accidents across the world and more than 50 percent of the
fatalities are cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists.
Technologies such as V2X and driver assistance systems can make a
significant contribution to help reduce these numbers and are
already in standard use in selected passenger car models today.
To demonstrate how the safety of road users can be enhanced, NXP
and Riese & Müller have built a smart electric bicycle
prototype. The demonstration combines NXP’s RoadLINK ®
automotive-qualified DSRC modem and Hardware Secure Element IC for
V2X applications, with the Cohda Wireless’ On–Board Unit. The
configuration enables the e-bike to transmit data on its position,
speed and direction of travel to other V2X-enabled vehicles in the
vicinity that could pose a potential danger to the cyclist. The
module calculates the distances between road users and position
changes within seconds. In the event of a dangerous situation, both
the cyclist and a car’s driver, would receive a timely collision
warning.
"Everyone on the road deserves to be safe, from the student on a
bike to the road worker and those in premium vehicles. The quest
starts with allowing vehicles and road users to communicate in real
time and V2X meets this need by linking infrastructure and road
users,” said Huanyu Gu, Senior Product Marketing Manager ADAS at
NXP. “V2X can connect and inform a vast web of e-bikes, e-scooters,
breakdown assist vehicles and even construction site lighting to
create a web of safety for all who share the roads."
Additional V2X Product News
To drive the expansion of the V2X ecosystem, NXP has also
announced the next step in innovation – the launch of the new i.MX
8XLite applications processor. The product is targeted at secure
V2X as well as IIoT applications and is capable of simultaneously
handling highly complex cryptography and telematics data. More
